PHP Warning – Illegal string offset

So I don’t understand why this is not working. I’m using WordPress and a plugin called ACF to populate some data. I’m looping through my repeater field to spit out the data like so:

<?php

    $links = get_field('footer_links');  // spits out the array

    if($links) {
        foreach ( $links as $link ) {
            $logo = $link['logo'];
            $link = $link['link'];
            $text = $link['text'];

            echo '<div class="link">';
            echo '  <a href="'.$link.'"><img src="'.$logo.'" /><p>'.$text.'</p></a>';
            echo '</div>';
        }
    }
    // Logo spits out a image path
    // link spits out the URL path
    // text SHOULD just spit out the title, however throws PHP warning

?>

For the variable $text I am getting a PHP warning.

Warning: Illegal string offset ‘text’ in…

Why is it that my other variables — $logo, $link do not throw this warning? They are created the same way as the other $text variable.

I’ve tried recreating the entire repeater field and changing the name etc.. with no success.

Here is my print_r($links);

        (
